Nisleit's Country Inn Port Washington, WI
After a complete restaurant remodel the interior dining room is smoke-free, service is excellent and the food remains the best in town.
Pasta Shoppe Port Washington, WI
Recent visits to this restaurant have shown great improvement in service and the food is excellent. The pizza is also a really nice pleasant surprise. Best garlic bread this side of Mama Mia's of Milwaukee.
Leonardo's Pizza Parlor Thiensville, WI
Recent visits have proven this pizza parlor to be the most consistent with the best sauce and freshest ingredients. My only complaint is that I wish they were open later during the week.
Newport Shores Port Washington, WI
Recent visit was fantastic. Service was top-notch even though the place was packed. The food is always superb with fish fry every day and a great selection of fish to choose from. I can't believe this place isn't on a top 25 list somewhere.
Beanies Port Washington, WI
Great expansion and remodel have made Beanie's a destination choice. One of the most consistent and best Mexican restaurants north of Milwaukee. Highly recommended.
Harry's Restaurant Port Washington, WI
Great value. Be careful when you frequent however. Sometimes the part-time high schoolers working the grill don't have the same experience in cooking as the day shift. Overall though it is a part of history and a must visit when coming to Port Washington.
Beanies Port Washington, WI
In an area where decent Mexican restaurants are few and far between, Beanies provides quality authentic mexican at reasonable prices. Seating can be crowded in the small dining area, however the walk to the lakefront after dinner makes the trip to Port Washington worthwhile.
Harry's Restaurant Port Washington, WI
Port Washington's classic greasy spoon offers surprisingly quick and consistent service and a nice smoke-free atmosphere. I highly recommend the chicken breast sandwhich and the coffee cake for desert.
Newport Shores Port Washington, WI
Probably one of the best fish fry dinners in the area. The only drawback is the large bar area and poor ventilation (lots of smokers). Nevertheless, if you come to Port Washington, you've got to go to Newport Shores.
Nisleit's Country Inn Port Washington, WI
The owners of this restaurant are wonderful people and do everything they can to befriend you. Great food and consistency is the main word at Nisleit's. Smokey dining room, however, which makes it next to impossible for a non-smoker to enjoy. Perhaps one of the smokiest restaurants I've ever been to, but the food is first class.
Pasta Shoppe Port Washington, WI
Although this place has a great atmosphere and a nice dining area, the food is merely average. The menu lacks the type of pasta variety and authenticity you would expect from the name of the restaurant. Olive Garden gives you better choice. However, it's probably the best place in Port Washington, and the food is consistently hot. Service could be better..waitresses tended to have a chip on their shoulder.
Port Hotel Restaurant Port Washington, WI
Once perhaps regarded as the preminent restaurant in town, the Port Hotel has slipped some the past few years. The menu needs updating and the waitresses seemed stressed. Nice atmosphere and pleasant seating. Food is average for the money. The restaurant has great potential, but they need to come out of the 70s.
Wilson House Port Washington, WI
The Wilson house has been a pleasant surprise both times I've had the chance to visit. The atmosphere is elegant, the service is incredible, and the food is on par with some of Milwaukee's finest gourmet restaurants. If the secret ever gets out this place will be a destination from all over the SE Wisconsin area. The grilled fish is particularly good with the garlic mashed potatoes. Highly recommended.
Boder's On the River Thiensville, WI
Boder's has great food and nice location along the Milwaukee River in Mequon. They need to update the decor, however. I felt like it was 1977. A little expensive, but it seems they've tried to bring the menu up to date which made the experience very nice.
Chuck's Place-Family Rstrnt Thiensville, WI
A great family restaurant with the best variety around. Much better than the larger greek family restaurants. The manager is always around and very accomodating. The rotisserie chicken is great and the pizza is perhaps the best in the area. Can be crowded in the dining room and a bit smokey.
Leonardo's Pizza Parlor Thiensville, WI
This place claims to have New York style pizza. Nice try. I've been to New York, to the corner pizza places in Manhattan and Queens. I've had New York pizza. Leonardo's doesn't come close. However, this is Wisconsin. Thus, says this reviewer, if you want decent pizza, skip Pizza Hut and go here. It's better than most places...but PLEASE don't call this New York!
Alpine Village Thiensville, WI
This is always one of my favorite places to come. Where else can you see authentic european decor with live music and a live stream with fresh fish swimming around? The atmosphere is great here. Good fish fries, however the rest of the menu needs help.
Chocolate Factory Parlor Cedarburg, WI
Ok, let's face it.... we're not here for great service or shiney clean floors. This is history. How can you not enjoy the traditional ice cream cooler, the 50s music in the background and perhaps the best subs in Wisconsin? So, we look past the negatives and enjoy the experience...and the food.
Jalisco's Cedarburg, WI
I couldn't put my finger on it until recently. This restaurant is a nice place. It's clean, quick and consistent. However, something was missing. I wasn't sure. The food is good. Nice variety. However, I think I now know. The food is bland. Perhaps more spice and it will be there.
